Ok Girls, I need a new purse and I think I'm actually going to treat myself to a nice one! I usually just buy $20 ones at Kohles or something like that! I have almost a $100 credit on my Marshall Fileds card so thought I might use if for a new purse. Will said he would throw in some extra money for my V-Day gift towards a nice purse!
I've always had purses with shoulder straps but lately, find I don't really use the shoulder straps much! I currently have a back-pack style purse but usually just use the little hand strap on it. I have several little "hippy" style pouch bags that I use for shopping at the mall and stuff so I don't have to carry a big purse with me. They are just big enough for money, id, chap stick and cell phone!
I'm looking for a medium size everyday purse but can't decide on what styly strap to get? What does everyone else us????? I can't believe I'm contemplating spending this much on a purse but I've never had a nice one before and I want to do something nice for myself! Any pointers on purse shopping???

My sister got me one that the strap goes across my body last Christmas and I LOVE it,it might be a bit casual for your needs though but it carries the load and distributes the weight really well. I love it so much I got another one in red leather in the sales, they are just so comfy to carry.

I always buy the purses with smaller straps that you just put over your shoulders..
but I agree.. I love coach purses.. they are pretty and last forever. worth the investment. (I'm a poor student and still splurge on coach.. I have about four purses, a wallet and a wristlet. can you tell i'm obsessed! )

I was looking at some from coach. I think I really want a purple or lime green one! Or maybe pink!! I just love color!! I just can't decide on what style! I guess I'm nervous because I've never spent more than $20-30 for a purse! I've decided though that I'm an adult now and I deserve a nice purse! If it stops raining here, I may stop on my way home from work tonight and look again!

Do you have any outlet malls by you? My girlfriends and I went shopping to the outlet mall that had a Coach store. They had a special on the blue purses that day for about 47.00. It was a great buy with about 6 different styles so all of us bought a purse. It was a lot of fun.
Maybe you can go online and see if they offer any of the sales online.

All google came up with for coach outlest stores was one in Napa CA?!! Does anyone know if there is one in Michigan? They have a beautiful purple suede purse I really like on the web site but its $300.!! I was hoping to keep it under $200.!! I can't believe I'm even contemplating spending that much on a purse!
I guess I'm just jealous! I see all these women coming into my office with these beautiful purses and when I compliment them on the purses they say "Oh, thank you, its a so-and-so bag!" and several have asked me what kind of purse I have and I'm too embarrassed to tell them! I'm 34, I guess its time I bought a big girls purse!

GASP! I just looked at some from Neiman Marcus, I didn't see a purse under $700.00!! Most of them were over a thousand dollars and even a few over TWO THOUSAND, for a purse??!! I don't think so!! Holy Cow!! I guess I know why I don't shop at that store! Too Rich for my blood! Does anyone really spend that much on a purse??
